Live-Action Movies vs. 1992 Animated Series

[TMC1982]

How exactly does the live-action interpretations of the X-Men stand-up against their animated counterparts (i.e., who is the more formidable team):
*Professor X (Patrick Stewart vs. Cedric Smith)

*Cyclops (James Marsden vs. Norm Spencer)

*Wolverine (Hugh Jackman vs. Cal Dodd)

*Beast (Kelsey Grammer vs. George Buza)

*Gambit (Taylor Kitsch vs. Chris Potter) - I'm not going to bother including "fake Gambit", Tony Daniels that showed up in the last few episodes

*Storm (Halle Berry vs. Alison Sealy-Smith) - I'm not including Iona Morris (even though she did come back to play Storm in the "Secret Wars" episodes of Spider-Man) only because Sealy-Smith was Storm much longer

*Rogue (Anna Paquin vs. Lenore Zann)

*Jean Grey (Famke Janssen vs. Catherine Disher)

*Jubliee (Kea Wong vs. Alyson Court)

the reason why the TAS kicked so much ass because their was time for character growth on each episode.

The problem w/the films was, imo, a few characters had no purpose or story, Cyclops, Storm, and Rogue, were just background characters...we never saw them develop over the course of the 3 films...in X3 we got the warrior in Storm, but we don't know we she was angry/hated humans...etc....

I think we should not compare these totally different take on the animated show in the 80s and these technological challenging movies. I loved the animated series and I didn't like the movies that much.

I think we should just leave it at that and move forward, hopeing we get to see more amazing, and better, X-movies.

I think Patrick Stewart is the only one who really beat his cartoon counterpart IMO. And Jubilee doesn't really count - she didn't even speak in any of the final versions of the movies. Scratch that, she did say "STORM!" in X2.

*Professor X - Live version.

*Cyclops - Cartoon. Definitely the cartoon.

*Wolverine - Tie.

*Beast - Tie.

*Gambit - Cartoon.

*Storm - I don't even think I have to answer that one.

*Rogue - Or this one.

*Jean Grey - I didn't like either. Famke was too old-looking and bland. The cartoon was too weak.

*Jubliee - I'll reserve judgment on that one.

The only reason I consider X3 watchable is Beast, Kelsey Grammer reminded me alot of Beast on TAS

 

[Wolverine1988]

the voice acting on that show was superb, i think the TAS wolverine was really good considering it was for a saturday morning cartoon, i think id give it to the animated serie though still

 

[TNC9852002]

Ugh...This is such an unfair comparison.

You have like 1,500 minutes of animation compared to 300 minutes of live action movie.


I can't participate in that..
